Day 52 The end is near! A great day again with a nice rail-trail. New Lebanon, New Hampshire to Gilmanton, New Hampshire.

Day 52.  We went from West Lebanon N.H. to Gilmanton, N.H. The distance was 68.7 with only 2,520 feet of registered climb overall.  A nice day indeed and I am surviving using Gayle's bike.  At first it was foggy, but that cleared up fairly quickly.  Here we are at the start.

So, along the rail-trail path at first there was a lot of evidence that Halloween was here. The trail was nice, but as we went on it got just too rough for road tires so we hit the roads. Here are some pictures on the trail.











We saw another couple of covered bridges, and here is one of the best.



In Danbury where we had lunch we saw a welcoming sign, but it did not appear to be for "push-bikes"!
The trees were continuing to turn to fall colors by the minute.  Here was one of the great examples.
Finally, as we were waiting for Gayle in Gilmanton, we found some big mushrooms that had sprouted up.  Very impressive, and no, we did not eat/smoke any of them.


Well, tomorrow looks like the end of the ride!  60 some miles and the front wheel gets wet.  Then, westward ho!!
